According to the director of product and EDE at Premier Farnell , the web transactions are becoming more and more important in the distribution market. Due to the global economic climate, the ongoing crisis in the Euro zone and the effect of the natural disasters in Japan and Thailand, 2011 has been a challenging year for the whole industry. Because the locations of the component manufacturer are concentrated, the influence on the electronics industry is more than other sector of industry.

Luckily, there are other activity and innovation emerging, such as solid state lighting, renewable energy, life sciences and robotics. Farnell has invested heavily in these new activities. In hard 2011, the combination of the economic situation and natural disasters provided a robust test of supply chain for the high service distributors. Farnell stood up well to the test. Furthermore, by the element14 e-community, Farnell is able to offer a highly valued service.

The membership of element14 community has been increasing and growing in the year of 2011, because the Knode can provide designers an environment to research, design and build their embedded designs. The industry-specific online forums, information sources and collaboration are becoming a fabric of design in the electronic sector. Moreover, online transaction has taken 70% of all purchase at Farnell.

As a result, OEMs try to use more ‘make do and mend’ attitude to production equipment and machinery; therefore, the demand for MRO components is growing. In order to meet the growing demand for product and information, Farnell has added its portfolio of MRO products and services. Farnell holds an optimistic attitude towards 2012.
